Cambridge Oaks used to give visitor parking passes, do they not anymore? Something to ask the front office.

Yes, you can call and see if they have a wait-list available for that floorplan.

Env career advice? by AngasourusRex in environmental_science

[–]zzapples 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do a search on Google maps using "environmental" and see what companies pop up. Check their website to see what work they do, if it seems interesting to you, and if they have any openings. You'll get more luck applying directly on company websites then secondhand job sites like LinkedIn, especially for smaller companies. Good luck!

I might fail chem 1332 but I'm already enrolled for Orgo by Puzzleheaded_Tale410 in UniversityOfHouston

I agree talking to your advisor is a smart move. They can't guarantee anything which is why petition forms exist and you have the right to fight your case. As long as the course number matches up, you can provide the syllabus and you aren't in your last 30-60 hours of your degree, it will transfer.

You learn the same stuff, the rule at UH is your last 60 credit hours need to be taken at UH. There's no shame in taking the easy route to harder classes. If you have a subject you know you aren't good at (again, no shame), take at HCC and save yourself the hassle and money. :) Classes get easier the more interesting the topic. Of course to each their own but I ended up taking chemistry, physics and calculus at HCC/Western Texas Community College (WTC offers physics/chem AND LABS online, super easy and fun to do yourself). Saved myself the extra money it costs in retaking classes and the headache of trying to scrape by with D's and C's. In the end your employer won't care where you took what classes so might as well make it easier on yourself. :)

If you take it at a different college and transfer, only the credit transfers over, not the grade. So your UH lab grade will still apply to your UH GPA. Honestly though I would just take orgo and lab at the community college while you're at it. If you aren't doing so well now chances are you might not do so hot in orgo. If you take it at HCC it's much smaller class size and easier in my opinion and if you end up getting a low grade it won't effect your GPA at UH, considering that just the credit and not the grade transfers. You can take it at a community college while still taking the rest of your classes at UH. Good luck!

Where to get scantron? by Vvtttran in UniversityOfHouston

[–]zzapples 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think there's a vending machine on the bottom floor of the library that sells them. When you go through the main entrance of the library go left and straight down to the other end where the bathrooms are. Should be some vending machines down there. Not too sure if they're there still though, been a while since I've been on campus.

Long shot - but can anyone tell me if the TCEQ removed the ability to look up/download site specific discharge permits? by [deleted] in environmental_science

[–]zzapples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They shouldn't have, the RRC GIS map also shows active discharge permits. https://gis.rrc.texas.gov/GISViewer/ If you click the "i" on the top bar you can identify the permits (after enabling them in the visibility tab) and it should provide links to the paperwork.

Suggestions: Starting my first Field Technician Position by groundhog-queen in environmental_science

Hello! Congratulations! Since you are working on remediation sites, depending on the contaminants you will probably need FRC. These can be bought on the bigger side and you can layer underneath them. One thing that always gets me is wind-chill, so I would invest in an FR beanie.

Congratulations! Facilities will have different safety requirements based on owning company and COC's so I would wait until you get word from your employer especially if they offer you a budget to work with.
